This is the work.
That needs healthy humans to do well❤😊
There needs to be collaboration between climate action and social actioneers relating to colonial oppression and indigenous philosophy
Thankyou thankyou thankyou... brilliant advice and action planning
I saw your interview on Novara Media a month or so ago and was immediately struck how right you are in your analysis of the collapse of the neoliberal order. And since I’ve wondered, do you have any books or individuals you’d point to who helped you become the educated speaker you are today? Any books or talks on theory? Anything to help build up one’s own knowledge of the situation? Anyways cheers from America keep up the fight!
Thanks - check out this reading list I put together. This is An Uprising By Paul Engler is a must!

Just introduced to your thinking today in the Novara Media interview, where I think you contended with some silly lines of questioning but nonetheless got a powerful message across. I really resonate so much with your revolutionary politics and message of urgency. Where I seem to deviate from your thinking, or at least I haven't heard you state it quite like this, is that I don't see the current deterioration as a collapse of neoliberalism but rather its evolution; I think this is all very much an engineered collapse, and the fascist global state emerging is positioning itself technologically and juridically to be in (nearly) full control. Of course, this kind of authoritarianism is implicit in your message, and I'm not sure my framing changes anything regarding how an effective revolutionary praxis would operate in the coming months and years, but it potentially changes aspects of the conversation to me. I do apologize for such a comment when I've only just had a cursory intro to your thinking, and I'm just a layperson commenting here. I'm going to purchase your booklet (Common Sense for the 21st Century) right away and look at the reading list you shared in the comments here.
It is important that we communicate and I am responding to you with appreciation and a notion that 'birds in the sky do not leave tracks'. Our sight and insight will be our navigation.
The problem with engineering a revolution is that if anyone believed you had a snowballs chance in hell you’d already be dead.
Revolution always follows on the heels of choices made by the common man, and in this case that means living differently and having different values that seek different outcomes. This is possible, of course. This is unfashionable because many would rather attempt to influence behaviour through policy rather than leadership by example, but to my mind those who can’t lead by example are unqualified to script policy.
There are things one can do. If one does them well, people follow. Many are desperate for something to follow that’s clear, authentic, and actionable. The problem is that more would rather dabble in abstractions, apathy, despair, or resignation, so the actionable strategies never get any attention.
If they did, you’d have your revolution.
Hi Roger, will you be back with uploading your talks to spotify? That was very convinient way of listening. Take care.
good luck
6th Comment... We will dominate the algorythym!
Roger, have you thought about money and credit creation in terms of the 'revolution?' The elite classes have the financial system locked down, and if you can’t come up with an alternative to it, then the people will be reluctant to follow. There will be an issue of hyperinflation. Steve Keen, MMT guys, Michael Hudson, and Blockchain technology as a way to create a people's currency is a good place to start. The key issue is inflation, which can be managed via productivity, taxation, and supply-chains.
Soooo anyone else is from Québec? When do we start?
Email me at roger.hallam.uk@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with other Canadians.
Pathways for action. Is that action like the Marxist theory talks about i.e. vanguards of awareness raising? OR is that practical action like setting up collective housing, commons ownership of resources, local credit networks to take money out of the neoliberal economy, CSA schemes and community kitchens for local food production to remove globalised food production and supply? I.e. to build a new civilisation as the Chartists movement did (By 1918, five of the Chartists' six demands had been achieved and along the way alternatives were experimented with) and the Levellers did as Diggers. SO not only political campaigning (which in the UK is quite hard without PR in most of it) but civilisation building.
all taxpayers should go to goverment meetings and demand that their taxes be put to better use!!!
Is there any equivalent / aligned organization in Canada?
I have to be honest with you. I think the most important thing right now is for people to learn how to grow their own food, and then we can go from there once all those gardens are in place and people have their canning abilities up to par then we can start a GD revolution, get your priorities straight please.
all cars that are not paid for stay home
Hi. I've sent a couple of emails but don't seem to be getting a response.
I'm going through the final processes of starting a new job, however I want to fully commit myself to this movement. I know there's an online meeting soon but could so with knowing if turning down my job is a good or bad idea beforehand.
Current circumstances that could influence the decision:
I have a van I could sell if it's more worthwhile having the extra money if I don't take the job.
I have about £1.5k to my name which could keep me going for a good while as I can move in with someone for free nearish London, and they supply the food.
I have no dependents
Willing do start helping whenever and doing whatever
The new job will be a 25 minute drive each way that I'm fully against
I'm in loads of debt and have no assets besides my van so I have nothing to lose, which I don't care about either.
My question is should I carry on with getting the job to support myself, but mainly the cause with every spare penny I get, or use my little money remaining to decline the job and do a hunger strike, action etc for example instead?
Hi Sam - sorry about that. The person that helps with my emails is sick. Come along to the call on Sunday and let’s chat afterwards. Would love to have you on board.
Awesome. see you then!
Hi Roger. There wasn't time to ask the question, I was hoping you could let me know before I finalise accepting this job. Thanks. @@Roger_Hallam
Hi Roger. Love the content, but you need to improve the presentation. We cannot see your eyes. You need better quality videos. Seriously
Find a way. ShakeUp XR
